That was done before, but I'm not sure if there was TotE mod.
There is just one problem the Death knight has now alternative upgrade, and you have to create NCF creature... since Nival never did it...
You have to edin the creature's xdb's, the town dwellings for them and since thats necro the necromancy.
So open the data and go to GameMechanics/Creature/Creatures/Necropolis
You'll find here all the dragons and the wights. And in the 3rd folder are the alternative upgrades. You need to edit them (Wight.xdb, Wraith.xdb, Bone_Dragon.xdb, Shadow_Dragon.xdb and in 3rd - Banshee.xdb and HorrorDragon.xdb)
Open the Wight.xdb, find <CreatureTown>TOWN_NECROMANCY</CreatureTown> and chage it to <CreatureTown>TOWN_NO_TYPE</CreatureTown>, do the same with Wraith.xdb and Banshee.xdb.
Now open the Bone_Dragon.xdb and find <CreatureTier>7</CreatureTier>, chage it to <CreatureTier>6</CreatureTier>, so the creature will become level 6, instead of 7. Do the same with Shadow_Dragon.xdb and HorrorDragon.xdb
Now go to GameMechanics/Creature/Creatures/Neutrals, here you need Black_Knight.xdb and Death_Knight.xdb, in both change <CreatureTown>TOWN_NO_TYPE</CreatureTown> to <CreatureTown>TOWN_NECROMANCY</CreatureTown> and <CreatureTier>6</CreatureTier> to <CreatureTier>7</CreatureTier>
Now only in Black_Knight.xdb change <PairCreature>CREATURE_UNKNOWN</PairCreature> to <PairCreature>CREATURE_DEATH_KNIGHT</PairCreature>
And only in Death_Knight.xdb cnahge <PairCreature>CREATURE_UNKNOWN</PairCreature> to <PairCreature>CREATURE_BLACK_KNIGHT</PairCreature>
No go to GameMechanics/TownBuildingSharedStats/Necromancy
Open folder Dwelling_6 and in HallOfDarkness.xdb change <Creature>CREATURE_WIGHT</Creature> to <Creature>CREATURE_BONE_DRAGON</Creature>
Now open DarkCathedral.xdb (same folder) and change
<Creature>CREATURE_WRAITH</Creature>
<Creature2>CREATURE_BANSHEE</Creature2>
to
<Creature>CREATURE_SHADOW_DRAGON</Creature>
<Creature2>CREATURE_HORROR_DRAGON</Creature2>
Now open GameMechanics/TownBuildingSharedStats/Necromancy/Dwelling_7
and in DragonGraveyard.xdb change <Creature>CREATURE_BONE_DRAGON</Creature> to <Creature>CREATURE_BLACK_KNIGHT</Creature>
Open DragonVault.xdb and here edit
<Creature>CREATURE_SHADOW_DRAGON</Creature>
<Creature2>CREATURE_HORROR_DRAGON</Creature2>
to
<Creature>CREATURE_DEATH_KNIGHT</Creature>
and here comes the problem, you don't hace alternative upgrade to ad in <Creature2> if you wish you can download one of the NCF creatures (check the sticky thread) and add it's ID instead of <Creature2>CREATURE_HORROR_DRAGON</Creature2>.
If you pick the ghost knight for example, you'll have to edit it to <Creature2>CREATURE_312</Creature2>
You can also edit the NCF creatures stats as you like by editing it's xdb at GameMechanics as well!
For more details about creature edits, check the Modding Wiki and the article Modding for Dummies --->>> Modifying Creatures
Also you have to change the <CreatureTier>6</CreatureTier> to <CreatureTier>7</CreatureTier>

Hmm, these mods are very unbalanced.
I used the poltergeists. The steal ammo ability is great. As long as you have around 70 of them, the ability becomes "turn this into a melee creature". And strike and return doesn't help steal ammunition because the ability is not trigger on attack. It's an activated ability which does no damage and takes a turn.
No enemy retaliation + strike and return are very strong abilities. The poltergeists wll become invincible, and unless spectres get it too, noone will choose them

You say that they are unbalanced and i say that they are fine 
Poltergeist is more fragile and deals less damage soo it isn't so dangerous.

Yes if you point the Attack command properly. That means when you have Large and Small creature next to each other you have to this right: Like in this Example:
L- Lrage creature
S- Small Creature
W- Wraith
X- where do you point your attack
When:
LL
SLX
WW
WW
There will only Large Creature will be hit with normal damage
When:
LL
SXL
WW
WW
There Large and Small creature will be Hit

That's actually a very nice mod. Can you upload as a separate file this Scythe stroke only?

Excellent! Downloaded. This will spice the Wight and Wraith up a bit. Can AI figure to use this attack properly (i.e. will they recognize and attack two creatures and place themselves properly?).

Hey,Nebdar,can you balance the skellies and archers a bit?They die way too fast,and deal less damage then a Peasant even in numbers,while the skelle warriors are as hard to kill as a Tier 2 unit.Regular Zombies should have +1 init at least.I'm not forcing you to do this,in fact if you don't want to,do you know how I can edit them?

Hmm...
Skeleton:+1 hit points,initiative and damage range
Skeleton Archer:+1 to maximum damage
Skeleton Warrior:+1 hit points,-1 defence
Zombie:+1 attack,-1 defence,+1 hit points
Plague Zombie:+1 hit points
Vampire:+1 to minimal and maximum damage
Vampire Prince:+1 to minimal damage,-1 to maximum damage
Lich:Is a caster(should make more sense,since it's an undead mage),Spellbook:Suffering and Weakness on basic,+9 mana
That's it,I think.
EDIT:Ghost:+1 to minimum damage
Spectre:+1 defence(helms for nothing,come on)
